system-clipboard
Zsh plugin that synchronizes ZLE clipboard operations with the system clipboard for vi mode key bindings.
What is system-clipboard?
zsh-system-clipboard is a Zsh plugin that adds system clipboard support to the Zsh Line Editor (ZLE) for vi mode key bindings. It synchronizes ZLE's internal clipboard buffer with the system clipboard, allowing users to copy and paste text between the terminal and other applications seamlessly. The plugin solves the limitation where ZLE's yank and paste operations are isolated from the system clipboard.
Zsh users who work with vi mode key bindings and want to integrate their terminal's clipboard with the system clipboard for improved productivity. It is particularly useful for developers and system administrators who frequently copy-paste between the terminal and other tools.
Developers choose zsh-system-clipboard because it provides a lightweight, non-invasive solution to a common Zsh limitation. Unlike manual workarounds, it offers configurable clipboard backends, cross-platform support, and seamless integration with existing vi key bindings without breaking ZLE's native functionality.
